The game between Garry Kasparov (2812) and Veselin Topalov (2700) in the fourth round of the 1999 edition of the Hoogovens tournament in Wijk aan Zee is called Kaparov’s Immortal. The most noteworthy move of this game is the rook sacrifice on the 24th move. It is nice to replay the game and try to evaluate this position for yourself.
An annotated version of this game by Kasparov himself can be found here. More chess lessons? An index of all chess lessons can be found here.

Please, how I can make put a Java board (and the moves of my games) like yours in my own blog?
Thanks a lot!
I don’t use Java, but JavaScript by means of my own WordPress plugin, based on palview, under development. As described in Chess Exercises I also use a chess widget, that is free to download and is far more appealing, but which I consider less usefull for the chess lessons.
In addition to this possibility I have seen that the site Chess Publishinggives a nice overview with examples of alternatives to publish chess games on a blogsite.
